Ari gathers that these are objective comments and not personal attacks, which would make Jeff just as bad as he purports others to be. Age does that... maybe time for that pasture soon

Incidentally, Ari was unaware of one teaching for the New School, and thus Ari decided to investigate. Ari Stands by his assessment that people who are not properly qualified should not be teaching courses for which they have neither experience nor credentials. A pity that put a burr up your a**, but that's just life, Jeff. REAL UNIVERSITIES don't hire unqualified people - online ones do. Please demonstrate some proof that TESOL degrees there are accredited by other universities, which is the gold standard for checking academic credentials.

This forum does you well - books, website, online pre-TESL training, and now a "university" course are all sidelines for which here presents an opportunity for advertising. Ethics ARE sorely lacking here - that other poster was completely correct. Comments have been made here on a reasonably regular basis about people advertising their TESOL courses here without paying, and now you have been caught out for the same thing.

REAL universities have ethics departments governing issues like that, not just a couple of friends from the old IH days with an idea on how to make money.

QUESTION: Have either Scott Thornbury or Jeremy Harmer ever flown over to the US to inspect the premises of the "institution" to which they are lending their names?
